  2. 6. Experimental Design and Evaluation of Biocide Release from Microcapsules

    Author : Jonatan Bergek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microsphere; microscopic and macroscopic porosity; controlled release; internal phase separation method; Microcapsule; biocide; polyelectrolyte multilayer;

    Abstract : To protect a painted house façade from mold or algae, anti-growth agents are usually mixed in the paint. The protection of paint systems used in the past relied on heavy metals for protection and are banned today due to their negative impact on the environment. READ MORE

  4. 7. Biofilm adhesion on silicone materials

    Author : Sevil Atarijabarzadeh; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Silicone composite high voltage insulators are sometimes contaminated by microorganisms in outdoor applications, which results in the insulator becoming conductive and thereafter failure of the insulators. In this work, it has been tried to develop silicone materials with antimicrobial properties. READ MORE

  5. 8. Aspects of Bacterial Resistance to Silver

    Author : Susanne Sütterlin; Åsa Melhus; Björn Olsen; Roland Möllby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial resistance; Silver resistance; Clinical Bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has increased rapidly within recent years, and it has become a serious threat to public health. Infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria entail higher morbidity, mortality, and a burden to health care systems. READ MORE

  6. 9. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication

    Author : Emiliano Pinori; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antifouling; Barnacles; ivermectin; low biocide emission; marine fouling; marine paint; ISO 15181; ToF-SIMS;

    Abstract : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. READ MORE

  7. 10. Imidazole containing polymers complexed with Cu2+ and Zn2+

    Author : Markus Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vibrational spectroscopy; far-FTIR; EPR; cross-linking; DSC; Coordinating polymer; imidazole; mid-FTIR; metal ion;

    Abstract : An enormous problem for the shipping industry is fouling of marine organisms such as algae andbarnacles on the boat hull. The negative consequences for the society are both economical as well asenvironmental. To prevent fouling in general, biocides are typically incorporated directly into the paint. READ MORE
